Nogueira and Brilz earned “Fight of the Night” honors for their back-and-forth battle, which Nogueira ultimately won by controversial split decision, while Russow scored “Knockout of the Night” for his come-from-behind third-round KO of Todd Duffee and Ryan Jensen won “Submission of the Night” for a first-round guillotine of Jesse Forbes.

Headlined by the anticipated grudge match between Rashad Evans and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, UFC 114 drew a sellout crowd of 15,081 fans to the MGM Grand Garden Arena for a $3.895 million live gate.
